Day 18: In SLM children will no longer eat on the floor!

The construction of the newSchool Canteen in SLMwas been a long ALG wish but has suffered
a few setbacks. Finally, it is ready and it is beautiful!!

Now, with the brand new window panes, our children’s most
recent source of entertainment is to gaze at their reflection. Many of them
only notice they left home without combing their hair when they get here. The
frenzy is such that at lunch time the school guard has to come to the canteen
too to keep an eye on the window panes!

In SLM, around 800 children used to eat sitting on the
floor, under a tree, surrounded by dust and dirt brought by the wind. On rainy
days children had to eat their meals in the class rooms, or under a shed
sitting on the floor.

Construction began by the end of June 2015. The new canteen
started to take shape in mid-September, and the equipment was acquired before
Christmas. Now, our children have proper healthy conditions during their meals
period, and they can develop sociability and hygiene habits.

Support SLM’s School Feeding Programme and improve
the daily quality of life of 800 children – bring a Great Help To Mozambique!
